Last week, our school held a “Dream Week” to help students think about their futures. We did many interesting activities. On Monday, we wrote our dreams on a “Dream Wall”. We found that 40% of the students dreamed of jobs related to arts and sports, like becoming painters or basketball players. They believed these jobs were fun and could make people happy. On Tuesday, we had a class about science and technology. About 30% of the students said they wanted to be scientists or computer programmers in the future. They thought these jobs were important for our country and could change the world. On Wednesday, we talked about other dreams. For example, 10% of the students said their dream was to travel around the world. Another 10% dreamed of starting their own businesses. They thought being their own boss was cool. Of course, having a dream is just the first step. To make dreams come true, we need to have a clear plan, work hard, and never give up.

It needs curiosity and hard work.” 1．When did the school hold the “Dream Week”? 2．What percentage of students dreamed of jobs related to arts and sports? 3．Why did some students want to be scientists or computer programmers? 4．What was the dream of the students who wanted to be their own boss? 5．According to the teacher, what are the two important qualities to make a dream come true? 【答案】1． 1.

People lose the homes and some are hurt or even killed. Smokejumpers help stop this. Smokejumpers are special firefighters. Some fires are in hard-to-reach areas, such as in the middle of a mountain forest. These firefighters jump from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopter. When they arrive, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main duty is to prevent the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive. Smokejumpers use shovels or axes to clear the land of burnable things, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them too, but not a lot. Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors are height and weight. Smokejumpers in the US, for example, must be between 54 and 91 kilograms. This way, they don’t get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smokejumpers also need to know how to survive in the wild. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees. The work is dangerous, and the working hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires and live in the forest. Wang Yamin is a Chinese smokejumper. He says, “This is the best job for tough guys.” 1．How do smokejumpers get to hard-to-reach areas? 2．What is smokejumpers’ main duty? 3．Besides fighting fires, what other skills do many Russian smokejumpers have? 4．If you want to become a smokejumper in the future, what preparation will you make? Within 15 words. 【答案】 1.They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopter. 2.To prevent the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive. 3. They know how to find food and make simple furniture. 4. I will keep fit and learn survival skills in the wild. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了空降消防员的定义、工作方式、主要职责、任职要求以及他们对工作的热爱。 【详解】1．根据第二段“These firefighters jump from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopter.”可知，空降消防员到达难以到达区域的方式，整合提取答案。 2．根据文章第三段“Their main duty is to prevent the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive.”可知，空降消防员的主要职责，直接提取答案。 3．根据文章第四段“In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the fores and can even make simple furniture from trees.”可知，俄罗斯的空降消防员具备寻找食物和制作家具的生存技能，直接提取答案。 4．开放作答题。根据文章第四段“The most important factor are height and weight... Smokejumpers also need to know how to survive in the wild.”可知成为空降消防员需要满足体重要求并具备野外生存能力。因此准备工作应围绕健身和生存技能展开，且需注意字数限制。 Passage 3 A Career as a Wildlife Protector Wildlife protectors are people who work hard to protect wild animals and their habitats.

He offers an unusual dog service—taking care of dogs in the daytime. Every morning, Montoya gets up early and picks up his customers’ dogs at 7 o’clock. He looks after them carefully during the daytime and sends them back home safely at 2 p. m. This is a great way to stop the pets from feeling lonely while their owners are busy working. Montoya moved to Canby with his family at the age of 16. He refused to follow the family’s traditional business to start his dream job. After that, Montoya worked for a few years at a dog club. But unluckily, the club shut down and Montoya had no choice but to move on. He continued to offer his service from his own home. He made a sign and it said “Dog School Bus”. He then waited by the road until dog owners started coming with their dogs. He received 16 dogs in two weeks. Montoya picked up the dogs and took them to play freely on his friend’s farm. He only paid his friend 30 dollars each day. Last year, one of the dog owners posted a video on the Internet. It made Montoya’s Dog School Bus famous. In the video, his dogs excitedly ran out of the front door and into the school bus. Nowadays Montoya takes care of 300 dogs. He even knows all of their names! “I’m the happiest man in the world.

I’m sure you would disagree. You think you are old enough to make your own decisions, but your parents don’t think so. You may argue with your parents a lot. These arguments are necessary for growing up and finding out who you are. You spend most of your time at school, so you might have worries about keeping up with all your homework. Your parents might also push you to do well in exams. But what if you don’t like school? What if you like sports or music? Your parents might want you to go to university so they will want you to do nothing but study. They will tell you how important it is to have a good education, but perhaps you don’t agree. And you want to look good, so you’ll spend hours getting ready for a party, but your parents don’t like your clothes. Maybe you want to change your hair color, but your parents won’t let you do that. If you have these problems, what do you do to make your life simpler? Write to me and let me know. 1．Why don’t your parents think you can make your own decisions? 2．What do your parents think is very important? 3．What does the writer want to know about? 4．Do you often talk with your parents?

Although smartphones can be useful, owning one too early is not a good idea. A new study found that getting a smartphone before the age of 13 may be harmful to people’s mental (心理的) health. Researchers asked over 100,000 people around the world about their phone use. Some people aged 18-24 got their first smartphone at age 12 or younger. It’s more common for them to have mental health problems as adults (成年人). For example, they might often feel lonely, angry, or have sad thoughts as they grow up. One of the key reasons behind these problems may be easy access (接触) to social media. Although most apps set the rule that users should be at least 13 years old, not everyone follows the rule. At the same time, the age of owning the first smartphone continues to fall. In fact, 89％of 12-year-old British kids own a smartphone and the average age of getting one’s first phone is nine. Many children spend hours a day on their phones. This can cause sleep problems and do harm to family relationships. As AI and technology become part of life, they also create more challenges for face-to-face communication. All of these can influence one’s mental health. A team of experts are calling for action to protect young kids’ mental health. They think parents and teachers should make rules about phone use for kids and teach them how to use technology safely. Teenagers should also find a balance between using technology and taking care of their mind and body. This will help build a healthier future for young people. 1．What is the new study mainly about? 2．Who is more likely to have mental health problems as adults? 3．According to paragraph 4, how does the writer feel about kids’ phone use now? 4．Who should play a part in protecting young kids’ mental health? 5．What other harms do you think early phone use can cause? (write down 2 points) 【答案】1．Getting a smartphone before the age of 13 may be harmful to mental health. 2．People aged 18-24 who got their first smartphone at age 12 or younger. 3．Worried/Concerned. 4．Parents, teachers and teenagers. 5．Poor eyesight and less exercise. 【导语】本文探讨了过早使用智能手机对青少年心理健康的负面影响，并提出了保护措施。 【详解】1．文中提到“A new study found that getting a smartphone before the age of 13 may be harmful to people’s mental health.”，说明这项新研究主要关于“13岁前使用智能手机对心理健康的危害”。 2．文中提到“Some people aged 18-24 got their first smartphone at age 12 or younger. It’s more common for them to have mental health problems as adults.”，说明“18-24岁中12岁及以下就拥有第一部智能手机的人”，成年后更容易出现心理健康问题。 3．文中提到“This can cause sleep problems and do harm to family relationships. As AI and technology become part of life, they also create more challenges for face-to-face communication. All of these can influence one’s mental health.”，能看出作者对孩子们的手机使用现状是担忧的（Worried/Concerned）。 4．文中提到“parents and teachers should make rules about phone use for kids... Teenagers should also find a balance…”，说明家长、老师和青少年自身都应参与保护。 5．结合生活常识，过早使用手机还可能导致视力下降、缺乏锻炼、沉迷网络、影响社交能力等问题，写出两点即可。 Passage 3 Growing up is never an easy journey for teenagers. Today, many students have trouble with heavy schoolwork and spend too much time on smartphones, which has become a serious social problem. To support (维护) teenagers’ mental health, schools around the world have started real-world programs. One true example is at Two Rivers High School in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, USA．The school runs a Digital Wellbeing Club in partnership with the nonprofit (非营利) Live More Screen Less. Olivia Kanavati, a junior at the school, used to be deeply addicted (对……上瘾) to her phone. She often stayed up late using social media and games, felt anxious and could not focus in class. “I would look at my screen time and realize: what am I doing with my life?” she said. Later, Olivia joined the Digital Wellbeing Club. There, students learn to plan their screen time and real life properly. Now she spends free time more meaningfully. She reads in the school library, draws with friends, and joins art and music activities after class. She also talks more openly with her family and teachers when she feels stressed. She spends less than 2 hours on the phones each week now. Olivia has become a more confident and outgoing girl bit by bit. She understands that growing up means not just study progress, but also a healthy mind and real-world connections. With school and community support, teenagers like Olivia can grow up better and face life bravely. 1．Is growing up an easy journey for teenagers? 2．Why have many schools around the world started real-world programs? 3．Where does Olivia read to spend her free time more meaningfully after class now? 4．How long does Olivia use the phone each week now? 5．What is Olivia like now? 【答案】1．No, it isn’t. 2．To support teenagers’ mental health./ Because they want to support teenagers’ mental health. 3．In the school library. 4．Less than 2 hours. 5．She is more confident and outgoing. 【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年成长过程中面临的手机成瘾和学业压力问题。 【详解】1．第一段第一句明确指出“Growing up is never an easy journey for teenagers”，可知对青少年来说成长从来都不是一段轻松的旅程，所以使用否定回答。 2．第一段最后一句明确指出“To support teenagers’ mental health, schools around the world have started real-world programs”，答案是原文直接信息，语法正确即可。 3．第四段提到“Now she spends free time more meaningfully. She reads in the school library...”，答案是原文直接信息。 4．第四段最后一句明确指出“She spends less than 2 hours on the phones each week now”，直接提取时间信息。 5．第五段第一句明确指出“Olivia has become a more confident and outgoing girl bit by bit”，因此答案是原文直接信息，语法正确即可。 Passage 4 The students’ lives today can be very stressful (紧张的). They are under a lot of stress every day. Recently, Zhejiang did a survey of young people’s mental (精神的) health. It found that the middle school students in Zhejiang feel the biggest stress from school. This is not only true of Chinese students. The experts in America also did a similar survey. They found that teenagers have higher stress levels than adults. For them, one of the biggest stresses is also schoolwork. So the students need a break from it. Parents should let children do something they are interested in, because having a hobby is the best way to help them feel relaxed. There are many different kinds of hobbies. Chess is a good example. It is a very fun game and it also helps children develop their thinking skills. Collecting something is also a good hobby for children. A child can collect almost anything: key rings, stamps, postcards, old coins, etc. Many of these collections can be both interesting and meaningful. Besides, gardening is also a useful hobby because it is a physical activity and it can teach children about nature. A hobby can be a useful learning tool. Children may become good at something if they really love their hobbies. Hobbies will also teach children a lot about responsibility (责任). 1．What kind of survey did people do in Zhejiang recently? 2．Who has higher stress levels in America, teenagers or adults? 3．What is the best way for children to relax? 4．Do you think developing a hobby will influence studying? Why or why not? 【答案】1．A survey of young people’s mental health. 2．Teenagers. 3．Having a hobby. 4．No, I don’t think so. Because hobbies can help us relax, and a relaxed mind can make us study more efficiently. 【导语】本文介绍了中美青少年普遍面临学业压力的现状，提出培养爱好是缓解压力的最佳方式，并列举了多种有益的爱好及其作用。 【详解】1．原文第一段提到“Recently, Zhejiang did a survey of young people’s mental health.”，直接说明了浙江开展的调查类型，答案是原文直接信息。 2．原文第二段提到“They found that teenagers have higher stress levels than adults.”，明确了美国青少年的压力水平比成年人更高，答案是原文直接信息。 3．原文第三段提到“because having a hobby is the best way to help them feel relaxed.”，直接说明了孩子放松的最佳方式，答案是原文直接信息。 4．可结合文中爱好能缓解压力、培养能力的作用，联系自身学习生活作答，表述合理即可。 Passage 5 Last month, I had a big problem. I argued with my best friend. We didn’t talk to each other for a week. I felt very sad and lonely. I didn’t know what to do. I kept the feeling inside. I couldn’t sleep well at night. I didn’t want to do anything the next day. Then, I read a passage about dealing with negative emotions (消极情绪). It said we should not keep negative feelings inside. We should have a talk with someone we trust. So, I told my mother everything. She listened to me carefully. She said I should communicate with my friend and say sorry first. She also said true friendship is valuable. I followed her advice. I called my friend and we talked for a long time. We understood each other again. Now we are good friends again. I’m very happy. I learned that dealing with negative emotions well is really important. It helps us solve problems and avoid more trouble. We can talk with our parents, teachers, or friends. We can also take exercise to relax. Let’s learn to manage our emotions. 1．How did the writer feel after arguing with her best friend? 2．Who did the writer talk with about her problem? 3．How did the writer solve her problem according to her mother’s advice? 4．What can we do to relax according to the passage? 5．Please give another suggestion about dealing with negative emotions.

We didn’t talk to each other for a week. I felt very sad and lonely.”，表明作者和好朋友争吵后，感觉非常伤心和孤独，所以答案是原文直接信息。 2．根据“So, I told my mother everything.”可知，作者把问题告诉了她的妈妈，即和她的妈妈谈论了这个问题，这是原文中的具体表述，直接提取即可。 3．文中提到“She said I should communicate with my friend and say sorry first.”以及“I called my friend and we talked for a long time. We understood each other again.”，说明作者按照妈妈的建议，给朋友打电话并交谈了很长时间，从而解决了问题，答案从原文中可得出。 4．文中明确指出“We can also take exercise to relax.”，表明我们可以通过锻炼来放松，这是原文直接给出的信息。 5．开放题，答案不唯一。结合生活常识和合理想象，只要给出的建议合理且不超过15个单词即可，比如听音乐、看电影等都是常见的放松方式。 话题3 团队合作（Unit 3） Passage 1 Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other as part of a team. With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or a group of people cheer for their favourite player. There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation are necessary in reaching a particular goal. One kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another kind is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions. What’s more, team spirit can also be seen in the workplace or in some activities. Team spirit creates various good effects. It creates friendship and trust between people who may not get along when they don’t have such team spirit. There may also be bad effects. Too much team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members. Some people don’t understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, team or fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere—between friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don’t have to wear team-spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing support for the goal. 1．How many kinds of team spirit does the passage mention? 2．What good effects does team spirit create? 3．Where can team spirit be built? 4．Do team members have to wear team-spirit clothes? 5．How can anyone show team spirit? 【答案】1．Four kinds of team spirit. 2．It creates friendship and trust between people who may not get along without it. 3．Anywhere (between friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other). 4．No, they needn’t. 5．Just by showing support for the goal. 【导语】本文介绍团队精神的定义、不同类型、利弊影响及常见误解，说明团队精神的体现方式与适用场景。 【详解】1．第二段指出“There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people… One kind is when a group of people support a person or a team.

Whether in school, sports or future workplaces, working well with others can make a big difference. But what is teamwork? Teamwork is the ability to work together towards the same goal. It includes communicating, sharing and respecting each other’s ideas. When we work together, we can combine (结合) our advantages and skills to solve problems. For example, in a school project, each team member may have different abilities. One student may be good at writing while another student may be good at researching. By sharing tasks, the team gets a higher quality result. In sports, teamwork is the key to success. A soccer team needs players to pass the ball, defend (防守) and score together. If they don’t work together, the team will lose. The members learn to trust and support each other, which helps them build strong relationships on the field. In addition, teamwork can create a sense of belonging (归属感) . When we work with others, we feel connected and valued. This connection can encourage us to do more. It also teaches us important life skills, like solving problems and helping others in trouble. In a word, teamwork is very important for success in many areas of life.

Whether it’s in a sports team, a school project, or a workplace, working together can bring many benefits. In a sports team, teamwork is the key to winning games. Each player has their own role, and they need to cooperate with each other. For example, in a basketball game, the guards (后卫) need to pass the ball to the forwards and centres. The players need to support and encourage each other on the court (球场). If everyone only thinks about themselves and doesn’t work as a team, it’s very difficult to win. In a school project, teamwork can make the work easier and more efficient (高效的). Students can divide tasks according to their abilities. Some can do research, some can write the report, and others can make the presentation. By working together, they can learn from each other and complete the project better. In a workplace, teamwork is also necessary. Different departments need to cooperate to achieve the company’s goals. For example, the marketing department needs to work with the production department to introduce new products to people. Teamwork helps everyone finish tasks faster and makes the workplace better. 1．What is the key to winning games in a sports team?

He was a great person in the American West. Powell was very brave. He never cared about getting in a boat and rowing down a river he didn’t know. On the way, he studied geology, plants and wild animals, and taught himself a lot about nature. In 1861, Powell joined the army in the Civil War. He was injured and lost his right arm.

But do you know that cicadas only spend a small part of their lives in trees? They spend most of their lives underground. Some cicadas even spend 17 years under the ground! Let’s take a look at cicadas’ life cycle. Just before female (雌的) cicadas die, they lay their eggs in trees. One cicada lays about 400 eggs. Six to ten weeks later, the baby cicadas come out of the eggs, fall to the ground and dig holes deep underground. Small and wingless, they’re known as nymphs (若虫). Depending on their kinds, most nymphs spend 13 to 17 years in these holes. But many of them may be eaten by birds and snakes. Now you understand why female cicadas lay so many eggs. They need to make sure enough nymphs live, even if many get eaten. Finally, the nymphs come up to the top of the ground. Then they climb onto a nearby plant, becoming adult cicadas. Adult cicadas have big bodies and four clear wings. These adults live for about two months, so they have enough time to find a partner. This is when we hear cicadas’ loud sounds. Male (雄的) cicadas make these sounds to find a partner. They die soon after pairing up, while females die after they lay their eggs. And then the life cycle begins again. No one is sure why some cicadas have such a long life cycle. But no matter what the reason is, cicadas are truly a wonder of nature. 1．What does the nymph look like? 2．Where does a cicada live most of its life? 3．Why does a male cicada make the noise on hot summer days? 4．What do you think of cicadas? Why? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】1．It is small and wingless. 2．It lives most of its life underground. 3．To find a partner. 4．Cicadas are interesting insects.

After laying eggs, they die, and the cycle starts again. 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者对山东乡村童年芒种时节的回忆，讲述了二十四节气如何深刻指导当地农事与生活，并作为承载社会文化意义的“第五大发明”，在当代依然焕发着连接传统与现代的生命力。 1．根据“Small and wingless, they’re known as nymphs (若虫).”可知，若虫长得又小又没有翅膀。故填It is small and wingless. 2．根据“But do you know that cicadas only spend a small part of their lives in trees?

They live mostly underground for many years, then come out to sing and have babies. Their loud noise is how they find mates. After laying eggs, they die, and the cycle starts again. Passage 3 As we all know, Yuan Longping is famous as the father of hybrid rice (杂交水稻之父). He was born on September 7, 1930 in Chongqing, and died in Changsha on May 22, 2021. In November, 2020, he and his team set a new record. They grew a new kind of hybrid rice called “Sanyou No. 1”. Its yield (产量) can reach 1,500 kg per mu. That means a 1-mu field (田地) can feed (喂养) five people! When he was young, he saw lots of Chinese people starving (挨饿). He has tried hard to make sure everyone has enough to eat. To get closer to this goal (目标), he grew hybrid rice. Hybrid rice is very important for China. About one-fifth of the world’s people live in China. But China only has less than 9 percent of the world’s land. So the rice grown in China has to have a big yield. It has to have more grains (稻粒) in each plant. Its grains have to be bigger. It has to be strong so that we can grow it in deserts (沙漠), mountains, and snowy villages. Hybrid rice can take in water and nutrition (营养) from the ground better than other rice. It can take in sunlight better as well. All of these things help it grow bigger and taller. Its annual yield (年产量) is about 20 percent higher than that of other rice. “I had a dream. In my dream, rice plants grow as tall as sorghum (高粱), each ear of rice (稻穗) is as big as a broom (扫把), and each grain of rice is as huge as a peanut (花生).” Yuan once said. Isn’t that wonderful? Maybe the scientist’s dream will come true someday. 1．What is Yuan Longping famous as? 2．When and where did Yuan Longping die? 3．Did he and his team set a new record in November, 2020? 4．How much is hybrid rice’s annual yield (年产量) higher than that of other rice? 5．What do you think of Yuan Longping? 【答案】1．He is famous as the father of hybrid rice. 2．He died in Changsha on May 22, 2021. 3．Yes, they did. 4．About 20 percent./20%/Twenty percent. 5．I think he is a great and selfless scientist who devoted his life to feeding the Chinese people and realizing his dream. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平的生平、科研成果（如“三优一号”创下高产纪录）以及杂交水稻在解决中国粮食问题中的重要意义，并提及了他的“禾下乘凉梦”。 1．根据第一段第一句“As we all know, Yuan Longping is famous as the father of hybrid rice”可知，袁隆平被誉为“杂交水稻之父”。故填He is famous as the father of hybrid rice. 2．根据第一段第二句“...died in Changsha on May 22, 2021.”可知，袁隆平于2021年5月22日在长沙逝世。故填He died in Changsha on May 22, 2021. 3．根据第一段第三、四句“In November, 2020, he and his team set a new record.”可知，2020年11月，他和他的团队确实创造了新纪录。题干是一般疑问句，应用Yes/No回答。故填Yes, they did. 4．根据第二段最后一句“Its annual yield is about 20 percent higher than that of other rice.”可知，杂交水稻的年产量比其他水稻高出约20%。故填About 20 percent./20%/Twenty percent. 5．本题为开放性问答，要求评价袁隆平。答案需结合文章内容，观点积极正面。示例：我认为他是一位伟大而无私的科学家，他将一生奉献给了解决中国人吃饭问题和实现自己的梦想。故填I think he is a great and selfless scientist who devoted his life to feeding the Chinese people and realizing his dream. Passage 4 Shi Guangyin is a farmer and eco­warrior (生态战士) from Dingbian, Shaanxi Province. He grew up in a town near the Mu Us Desert. There, sandstorms often destroyed crops, houses, and even people’s lives. Growing up in such an environment (环境), Shi knows how much pain and harm the sand can cause. As a child, Shi experienced the pain of losing his home because of sandstorms. At the age of 8, he lost his best friend in a sandstorm. And these made him decide to fight against desertification (沙漠化)． Fighting against the desert is not easy. In 1968, Shi started leading local people to plant trees in the desert. After years of hard work, he found ways to grow trees in the sand. In 1984, he sold 84 sheep and borrowed money to plant trees on 200 hectares (公顷) of land. Although he had many difficulties, including failures in the harsh (艰苦) area of Langwosha, Shi never stopped fighting. In 1988, he finally succeeded in greening Langwosha by using new planting technology. Shi was old. His son, Shi Zhanjun, continued planting trees but sadly died in a car accident while transporting trees. Shi’s grandson then took up the responsibility. Together, they have turned 23,334 hectares of desert into green land. Shi believes that fighting against desertification is his lifelong duty. He says, “I shall not stop planting trees until my last breath.” His story shows how one person’s will can make a big difference in protecting nature. 1．Why did Shi Guangyin decide to fight against desertification?   (不超过15个词) 2．How did Shi Guangyin succeed in greening Langwosha?  (不超过10个词) 3．What can we learn from Shi’s story? (不超过15个词) 【答案】1．Because he experienced the pain of losing his home and a friend in sandstorms. 2．By using new planting technology. 3．We can learn that one person’s will can make a big difference in protecting nature. 【导语】本文主要讲述了生态战士石光银在中国陕西省定边县与沙漠化斗争的故事，他通过不懈努力和使用新技术成功绿化了大片沙漠，并且这种精神在家族中传承，对保护自然环境产生了深远影响。 1．根据“As a child, Shi experienced the pain of losing his home because of sandstorms. At the age of 8, he lost his best friend in a sandstorm, which made him decide to fight against desertification (沙漠化).”可知，是因为他经历了在沙尘暴中失去家园和朋友的痛苦，所以他决定与沙漠化作斗争。故填Because he experienced the pain of losing his home and a friend in sandstorms. 2．根据“he finally succeeded in greening Langwosha by using new planting technology.”可知，是通过使用新的种植技术成功的。故填By using new planting technology. 3．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为We can learn that one person’s will can make a big difference in protecting nature. Passage 5 What makes humans special? For a long time, people believed humans were different from all animals. They thought only humans could make tools and have real conversations. Then came Jane Goodall. As a child, Jane loved watching animals in her garden. She would sit for hours observing (观察) how birds built nests and squirrels collected food. This early love for nature stayed with her. At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream. Though she never went to university, she learnt much about animals from books. With help from scientist Louis Leakey, Jane began studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe forest. Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals (个体). For months, the chimpanzees ran away when they saw her. But Jane stayed patient, watching from a distance every day. Jane’s patience brought amazing discoveries. She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools. She saw David Greybeard use a grass stem to catch termites (白蚁)—the first proof that animals could make and use tools. She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families, having seen them hug when sad, hold hands, or have their mothers teach them to find food. Later Jane realized that studying animals wasn’t enough to protect them. She saw forests getting smaller and chimpanzees becoming fewer. So she started traveling worldwide, speaking to governments, schools, and communities. She told everyone that we must protect forests and the animals living in them. In 1991, Jane created Roots & Shoots to help young people make a difference. Students in this program clean up parks, plant trees, and help animals in their communities. One group in Tanzania built a safe place for birds. Another in Canada raised money to protect bear habitats (栖息地). Though Jane passed away recently, her work continues. She taught us that every person—including you and me—can help make our world better. As she often said, “Every day, each of us can make a difference.” 1．When did Jane go to Africa for the first time? 2．How was Jane’s way of studying chimpanzees different from that of other scientists? 3．What were Jane’s discoveries about chimpanzees? 4．What did Jane create in 1991? 5．Why do people see Jane Goodall as a great scientist? Please list two reasons based on the passage. 【答案】1．At the age of 23. 2．She gave the chimpanzees names and treated them as individuals. 3．She discovered that chimpanzees could use tools and they could feel emotions and have families. 4．She created Roots & Shoots in 1991. 5．One reason is that she made amazing discoveries about chimpanzees. Another reason is that she worked hard to protect forests and animals. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了动物学家珍・古道尔的生平与成就。她深入非洲研究黑猩猩，做出了重大发现，还发起环保行动，影响了无数人。 1．根据“At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream.”可知，珍・古道尔第一次去非洲是在23岁时。故填At the age of 23. 2．根据“Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals.”可知，她给黑猩猩起名字，并将它们当作独立的个体来对待。故填She gave the chimpanzees names and treated them as individuals. 3．根据“She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools... She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families…”可知，她发现黑猩猩会使用工具，也能感受情绪、拥有家庭。故填She discovered that chimpanzees could use tools and they could feel emotions and have families. 4．根据“In 1991, Jane created Roots & Shoots to help young people make a difference.”可知，珍・古道尔在1991年创立了“根与芽”项目。故填She created Roots & Shoots in 1991. 5．根据全文内容，她被视为伟大科学家的原因包括：一是她对黑猩猩有惊人的发现，二是她致力于保护森林和动物，还发起了环保项目影响年轻人。故填One reason is that she made amazing discoveries about chimpanzees. Another reason is that she worked hard to protect forests and animals. 1 / 1zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题10 阅读表达5大常考话题25篇 话题1 职业（Unit 1） 话题2 成长 (Unit 2) 话题3 团队合作 (Unit 3) 话题4 帮助（Unit 4） 话题5 人与自然（Unit 5-6） 1 / 1zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 话题1 职业（Unit 1） Passage 1 Do you have a dream? Last week, our school held a “Dream Week” to help students think about their futures. We did many interesting activities. On Monday, we wrote our dreams on a “Dream Wall”. We found that 40% of the students dreamed of jobs related to arts and sports, like becoming painters or basketball players. They believed these jobs were fun and could make people happy. On Tuesday, we had a class about science and technology. About 30% of the students said they wanted to be scientists or computer programmers in the future. They thought these jobs were important for our country and could change the world. On Wednesday, we talked about other dreams. For example, 10% of the students said their dream was to travel around the world. Another 10% dreamed of starting their own businesses. They thought being their own boss was cool. Of course, having a dream is just the first step. To make dreams come true, we need to have a clear plan, work hard, and never give up. Our teacher told us, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic. It needs curiosity and hard work.” 1．When did the school hold the “Dream Week”? 2．What percentage of students dreamed of jobs related to arts and sports? 3．Why did some students want to be scientists or computer programmers? 4．What was the dream of the students who wanted to be their own boss? 5．According to the teacher, what are the two important qualities to make a dream come true? Passage 2 Every year, wildfires destroy tens of thousands of square kilometres of forest land. People lose the homes and some are hurt or even killed. Smokejumpers help stop this. Smokejumpers are special firefighters. Some fires are in hard-to-reach areas, such as in the middle of a mountain forest. These firefighters jump from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopter. When they arrive, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main duty is to prevent the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive. Smokejumpers use shovels or axes to clear the land of burnable things, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them too, but not a lot. Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors are height and weight. Smokejumpers in the US, for example, must be between 54 and 91 kilograms. This way, they don’t get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smokejumpers also need to know how to survive in the wild. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees. The work is dangerous, and the working hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires and live in the forest. Wang Yamin is a Chinese smokejumper. He says, “This is the best job for tough guys.” 1．How do smokejumpers get to hard-to-reach areas? 2．What is smokejumpers’ main duty? 3．Besides fighting fires, what other skills do many Russian smokejumpers have? 4．If you want to become a smokejumper in the future, what preparation will you make? Within 15 words. Passage 3 A Career as a Wildlife Protector Wildlife protectors are people who work hard to protect wild animals and their habitats. They play an important role in keeping the balance of nature. This job is not easy, but it is very meaningful. Zhang Na is a wildlife protector who works in a nature reserve in Yunnan. Her daily work is diverse (多种多样的). She often patrols (巡逻) the reserve to check on the wild animals. She also records their living habits and health conditions. Sometimes, she takes care of injured animals. Once, she saved a young panda that had fallen into a ditch. She took care of it for two months until it was healthy enough to return to the wild. To be a wildlife protector, you need to have a good knowledge of biology and animal behavior. You also need to be brave and patient. Working in the wild can be dangerous. There are often wild animals and bad weather. But Zhang Na never complains. She says, “When I see the animals living safely and freely, I feel all the hard work is worth it.” Zhang Na also does public education work. She gives talks in schools and communities to tell people about the importance of protecting wildlife. She hopes that more people will join in the work of protecting nature. If you love animals and nature, a career as a wildlife protector might be a good choice for you. It allows you to work closely with nature and make a difference to the world. 1．What do wildlife protectors do? 2．Why does Zhang Na think her work is worth it? 3．What is the purpose of Zhang Na’s public education work? 4．Are you interested in the job of being a wildlife protector? Why or why not? (Write 30 words or more.) Passage 4 Everybody has his or her dream job. And me too. My dream is to work for foreign tourists as a tour guide. First, I’m an outgoing girl, and I like doing something exciting. If I become a tour guide, I can travel all around China and know more about our country. Then I will tell foreign tourists about our colorful Chinese history. Second, I like making friends. I can make more friends all over the world. Third, I like singing. Singing English songs is my hobby. I believe I will be popular with foreign tourists. Now, I am still a middle school student. I will work hard and go to university to learn to be a tour guide.

Why or why not? (≤15 words) Passage 5 Montoya is 36 years old. He probably has the best job in the world. He offers an unusual dog service—taking care of dogs in the daytime. Every morning, Montoya gets up early and picks up his customers’ dogs at 7 o’clock. He looks after them carefully during the daytime and sends them back home safely at 2 p. m. This is a great way to stop the pets from feeling lonely while their owners are busy working. Montoya moved to Canby with his family at the age of 16. He refused to follow the family’s traditional business to start his dream job. After that, Montoya worked for a few years at a dog club. But unluckily, the club shut down and Montoya had no choice but to move on. He continued to offer his service from his own home. He made a sign and it said “Dog School Bus”. He then waited by the road until dog owners started coming with their dogs. He received 16 dogs in two weeks. Montoya picked up the dogs and took them to play freely on his friend’s farm. He only paid his friend 30 dollars each day. Last year, one of the dog owners posted a video on the Internet. It made Montoya’s Dog School Bus famous. In the video, his dogs excitedly ran out of the front door and into the school bus. Nowadays Montoya takes care of 300 dogs. He even knows all of their names! “I’m the happiest man in the world. I’m doing what I love,” he says. “I love dogs and I’m always looking for the best for them.” 1．What unusual dog service does Montoya offer? 2．Why did Montoya refuse to follow the family’s traditional business? 3．Where did Montoya take the dogs to play freely? 4．What happened to make Dog School Bus famous? 5．What do you think of Montoya? Give a reason. 话题2 成长（Unit 2） Passage 1 Parents will always tell you that your school days are the happiest days of your life. I’m sure you would disagree. You think you are old enough to make your own decisions, but your parents don’t think so. You may argue with your parents a lot. These arguments are necessary for growing up and finding out who you are. You spend most of your time at school, so you might have worries about keeping up with all your homework. Your parents might also push you to do well in exams. But what if you don’t like school? What if you like sports or music? Your parents might want you to go to university so they will want you to do nothing but study. They will tell you how important it is to have a good education, but perhaps you don’t agree. And you want to look good, so you’ll spend hours getting ready for a party, but your parents don’t like your clothes. Maybe you want to change your hair color, but your parents won’t let you do that. If you have these problems, what do you do to make your life simpler? Write to me and let me know. 1．Why don’t your parents think you can make your own decisions? 2．What do your parents think is very important? 3．What does the writer want to know about? 4．Do you often talk with your parents? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 2 When did you get your first smartphone? Although smartphones can be useful, owning one too early is not a good idea. A new study found that getting a smartphone before the age of 13 may be harmful to people’s mental (心理的) health. Researchers asked over 100,000 people around the world about their phone use. Some people aged 18-24 got their first smartphone at age 12 or younger. It’s more common for them to have mental health problems as adults (成年人). For example, they might often feel lonely, angry, or have sad thoughts as they grow up. One of the key reasons behind these problems may be easy access (接触) to social media. Although most apps set the rule that users should be at least 13 years old, not everyone follows the rule. At the same time, the age of owning the first smartphone continues to fall. In fact, 89％of 12-year-old British kids own a smartphone and the average age of getting one’s first phone is nine. Many children spend hours a day on their phones. This can cause sleep problems and do harm to family relationships. As AI and technology become part of life, they also create more challenges for face-to-face communication. All of these can influence one’s mental health. A team of experts are calling for action to protect young kids’ mental health. They think parents and teachers should make rules about phone use for kids and teach them how to use technology safely. Teenagers should also find a balance between using technology and taking care of their mind and body. This will help build a healthier future for young people. 1．What is the new study mainly about? 2．Who is more likely to have mental health problems as adults? 3．According to paragraph 4, how does the writer feel about kids’ phone use now? 4．Who should play a part in protecting young kids’ mental health? 5．What other harms do you think early phone use can cause? (write down 2 points) Passage 3 Growing up is never an easy journey for teenagers. Today, many students have trouble with heavy schoolwork and spend too much time on smartphones, which has become a serious social problem. To support (维护) teenagers’ mental health, schools around the world have started real-world programs. One true example is at Two Rivers High School in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, USA．The school runs a Digital Wellbeing Club in partnership with the nonprofit (非营利) Live More Screen Less. Olivia Kanavati, a junior at the school, used to be deeply addicted (对……上瘾) to her phone. She often stayed up late using social media and games, felt anxious and could not focus in class. “I would look at my screen time and realize: what am I doing with my life?” she said. Later, Olivia joined the Digital Wellbeing Club. There, students learn to plan their screen time and real life properly. Now she spends free time more meaningfully. She reads in the school library, draws with friends, and joins art and music activities after class. She also talks more openly with her family and teachers when she feels stressed. She spends less than 2 hours on the phones each week now. Olivia has become a more confident and outgoing girl bit by bit. She understands that growing up means not just study progress, but also a healthy mind and real-world connections. With school and community support, teenagers like Olivia can grow up better and face life bravely. 1．Is growing up an easy journey for teenagers? 2．Why have many schools around the world started real-world programs? 3．Where does Olivia read to spend her free time more meaningfully after class now? 4．How long does Olivia use the phone each week now? 5．What is Olivia like now? Passage 4 The students’ lives today can be very stressful (紧张的). They are under a lot of stress every day. Recently, Zhejiang did a survey of young people’s mental (精神的) health. It found that the middle school students in Zhejiang feel the biggest stress from school. This is not only true of Chinese students. The experts in America also did a similar survey. They found that teenagers have higher stress levels than adults. For them, one of the biggest stresses is also schoolwork. So the students need a break from it. Parents should let children do something they are interested in, because having a hobby is the best way to help them feel relaxed. There are many different kinds of hobbies. Chess is a good example. It is a very fun game and it also helps children develop their thinking skills. Collecting something is also a good hobby for children. A child can collect almost anything: key rings, stamps, postcards, old coins, etc. Many of these collections can be both interesting and meaningful. Besides, gardening is also a useful hobby because it is a physical activity and it can teach children about nature. A hobby can be a useful learning tool. Children may become good at something if they really love their hobbies. Hobbies will also teach children a lot about responsibility (责任). 1．What kind of survey did people do in Zhejiang recently? 2．Who has higher stress levels in America, teenagers or adults? 3．What is the best way for children to relax? 4．Do you think developing a hobby will influence studying? Why or why not? Passage 5 Last month, I had a big problem. I argued with my best friend. We didn’t talk to each other for a week. I felt very sad and lonely. I didn’t know what to do. I kept the feeling inside. I couldn’t sleep well at night. I didn’t want to do anything the next day. Then, I read a passage about dealing with negative emotions (消极情绪). It said we should not keep negative feelings inside. We should have a talk with someone we trust. So, I told my mother everything. She listened to me carefully. She said I should communicate with my friend and say sorry first. She also said true friendship is valuable. I followed her advice. I called my friend and we talked for a long time. We understood each other again. Now we are good friends again. I’m very happy. I learned that dealing with negative emotions well is really important. It helps us solve problems and avoid more trouble. We can talk with our parents, teachers, or friends. We can also take exercise to relax. Let’s learn to manage our emotions. 1．How did the writer feel after arguing with her best friend? 2．Who did the writer talk with about her problem? 3．How did the writer solve her problem according to her mother’s advice? 4．What can we do to relax according to the passage? 5．Please give another suggestion about dealing with negative emotions. (NO more than 15 words) 话题3 团队合作（Unit 3） Passage 1 Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other as part of a team. With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or a group of people cheer for their favourite player. There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation are necessary in reaching a particular goal. One kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another kind is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions. What’s more, team spirit can also be seen in the workplace or in some activities. Team spirit creates various good effects. It creates friendship and trust between people who may not get along when they don’t have such team spirit. There may also be bad effects. Too much team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members. Some people don’t understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, team or fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere—between friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don’t have to wear team-spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing support for the goal. 1．How many kinds of team spirit does the passage mention? 2．What good effects does team spirit create? 3．Where can team spirit be built? 4．Do team members have to wear team-spirit clothes? 5．How can anyone show team spirit? Passage 2 In today’s world, teamwork is an essential (必备的) skill that helps us achieve our goals. Whether in school, sports or future workplaces, working well with others can make a big difference. But what is teamwork? Teamwork is the ability to work together towards the same goal. It includes communicating, sharing and respecting each other’s ideas. When we work together, we can combine (结合) our advantages and skills to solve problems. For example, in a school project, each team member may have different abilities. One student may be good at writing while another student may be good at researching. By sharing tasks, the team gets a higher quality result. In sports, teamwork is the key to success. A soccer team needs players to pass the ball, defend (防守) and score together. If they don’t work together, the team will lose. The members learn to trust and support each other, which helps them build strong relationships on the field. In addition, teamwork can create a sense of belonging (归属感) . When we work with others, we feel connected and valued. This connection can encourage us to do more. It also teaches us important life skills, like solving problems and helping others in trouble. In a word, teamwork is very important for success in many areas of life. By learning to work together, we can not only achieve our goals but also build meaningful relationships and important skills that will help us in the future. Teamwork can lead us to great achievements! 1．What is teamwork according to the passage? 2．What is the key to success in sports? 3．What will happen if a soccer team doesn’t work together? 4．What two benefits of teamwork are mentioned in the last two paragraphs? 5．Do you think teamwork is important in your daily life? Why or why not? Passage 3 The Importance of Teamwork Teamwork is very important in our lives. Whether it’s in a sports team, a school project, or a workplace, working together can bring many benefits. In a sports team, teamwork is the key to winning games. Each player has their own role, and they need to cooperate with each other. For example, in a basketball game, the guards (后卫) need to pass the ball to the forwards and centres. The players need to support and encourage each other on the court (球场). If everyone only thinks about themselves and doesn’t work as a team, it’s very difficult to win. In a school project, teamwork can make the work easier and more efficient (高效的). Students can divide tasks according to their abilities. Some can do research, some can write the report, and others can make the presentation. By working together, they can learn from each other and complete the project better. In a workplace, teamwork is also necessary. Different departments need to cooperate to achieve the company’s goals. For example, the marketing department needs to work with the production department to introduce new products to people. Teamwork helps everyone finish tasks faster and makes the workplace better. 1．What is the key to winning games in a sports team? (不超过5个词) 2．Why do different departments need to cooperate in a workplace? (不超过10个词) 3．What can you learn from teamwork in your daily life? (不超过15个词) Passage 4 On February 10, 2026, the mixed team relay short track speed skating final (短道速滑混合团体接力决赛) took place at the Milan Winter Olympics. China’s team finished fourth, just missing the medals. However, what happened after the race showed the true spirit of teamwork. In the final, Chinese skaters Zhang Chutong, Gong Li, Liu Shaoang, and Sun Long tried their best. But two unexpected mistakes made them fall behind. They finally finished fourth, while Italy won gold, Canada silver, and Belgium bronze (铜牌). After the race, the Chinese skaters did not blame (责怪) each other. Instead, they talked together and encouraged one another. Liu Shaoang, one of the skaters, said, “We win together, and we lose together.” These words showed that in a team, all members share both success and failure. What makes a strong team? First, the team members set a common goal — to do their best and compete for the medal. Second, each member takes on different tasks based on their skills. Third, when facing difficulties, the team stays together and keeps good communication. Finally, they learn from the experience and become stronger for the next challenge. “Trust and communication are the keys to good teamwork,” said another skater, Lin Xiaojun.

One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry your basket. ” “Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you. ” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were very happy. The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel. She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱). “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip (滑倒) and fall. ” Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right. But almost all great things are made up of such small things. We shouldn’t wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these small things that are full of love. 1．Why did the old woman look very tired? 2．What did the little girl hope about the street? 3．Why was the old woman going to the market? 4．What did the little girl do with the banana peel? 5．Do you agree that we should help others by doing the small things? Why or why not? Passage 2 For most kids, the best thing for their birthday is having a birthday party. But thousands of children never celebrate their birthday. Thanks to Paige Chenault and her Birthday Party Project (项目), that is changing in the U.S.A． Every month, the Birthday Party Project holds birthday parties for the homeless (无家可归的) kids. For some kids, it is the first birthday party they have had. The Birthday Party Project wanted to make every kid feel special. “Everyone is special,” Paige said. So she started the Birthday Party Project in 2012 and the group’s first celebration was at a homeless shelter (避难所) in Texas. Today, the Birthday Party Project holds about 50 monthly parties in cities around the country. About 10,000 kids have celebrated their birthday. Dipson, 8, is one of those kids. He lives in a homeless shelter in Minnesota. At a party in March, he and other kids played games and ate cakes. They also opened gifts. “It was very fun,” he said. The Birthday Party Project has held parties for years. Kids always look forward to (盼望) them. “Many people come to the party,” Paige said. “It brings the whole place together.” There are many ways you can help other kids feel celebrated. Join the Birthday Party Project and visit the homeless shelters. Raise money by holding sales of old clothes and other activities. Give gifts to a homeless shelter. Make birthday cards for kids living in difficult places. Everyone can join in! 1．Who does the Birthday Party Project hold birthday parties for? 2．When did Paige start the project? 3．How many kids have celebrated their birthday with the help of the project? 4．What do you think of the project? 5．If you have a chance (机会) to help the project, what can you do? Passage 3 In busy cities, many stray animals (流浪动物) live tough lives. But kind people like Zeng Xiaoli work hard to help them. Zeng loves animals deeply and joins a volunteer group to rescue (营救) stray cats and dogs. She feeds them, takes them to doctors, and finds them safe homes. One rainy day, Zeng found a tiny injured cat in a park. Its leg was broken, and it couldn’t walk. Zeng gently carried the cat to a vet. The vet said it needed surgery (手术). Even though it cost a lot, Zeng paid for it and named the cat “Hope”. For weeks, she cared for Hope every day—feeding it, cleaning its cuts, and playing with it. Slowly, Hope’s leg became better, and it became a happy, energetic cat! Zeng’s job isn’t easy. She walks the streets in the hot sun or cold rain to find animals in need. She also asks people for donations (捐赠) to pay for food and medicine. Sometimes, she spends hours teaching new pet owners how to care for animals. She never gives up. “Every life matters,” she says. Her kindness has inspired many people. Friends, neighbors, and even strangers now help stray animals too. Thanks to Zeng, over 50 cats and dogs have found loving homes. Hope’s story shows how love can change lives. Zeng dreams of a world where no animal is left alone. “If we all do a little,” she says, “we can make a big difference.” Her story teaches us that helping others—even small creatures—brings joy and hope to the world. 1．Did Zeng Xiaoli rescue a dog named “Hope”? 2．What did Zeng Xiaoli do to help the injured cat in the park? 3．How can you describe Zeng Xiaoli? (Use at least one example from the text.) 4．If you want to help stray animals like Zeng Xiaoli, what creative idea will you try in your own community? Passage 4 Jiang Zhaopeng, an 18-year-old student, faced a life-or-death test on Saturday—not in an exam hall, but in the backseat of a car, where he performed life-saving CPR on a classmate who went into a heart attack. Jiang and his classmate were heading to take the spring college entrance exam when the emergency happened unexpectedly. At about 8:10 a.m., the two got into a taxi to the testing site. Just a minute later, Jiang’s classmate fell onto his knee. “I thought he was just tired at first,” Jiang said. But then the classmate began breathing with difficulty and kicking the front seat before suddenly going limp (瘫软). He soon stopped breathing. Jiang remembered the first aid lessons from school. He quickly laid his classmate down and began CPR. “Go to the hospital,” Jiang told the driver, Wang Tao. Wang called the local traffic police and sped to the hospital, running six red lights and arriving in just seven minutes—half the usual time. Jiang didn’t tell his school about the whole thing until his classmate was safe with doctors. He then rushed to the exam site, but arrived too late to take the 9 a.m. Chinese language test. Later, doctors said his classmate would be okay without any brain damage (损伤). “The first four minutes of CPR in the car were very important,” said the doctors. Though he missed the exam, Jiang said he had no regrets about his decision. “Exams can be taken again, but a life cannot,” he said. 1．What were Jiang Zhaopeng and his classmate doing when the emergency happened? 2．How did Jiang save his classmate? 3．Why did the taxi driver run red lights? 4．What happened to Jiang after helping his classmate? 5．What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 5 Tom works in a big company and he is often very busy. One day, when he came out of the office, it was late in the evening. There was no bus then, so he had to walk home. The street was very dark and he could hardly see anything. So he had to walk along slowly and carefully. Just at that time, Tom found a man with a hand lantern (手提灯) coming. “If I go with that person, I will be able to see well,” he thought. When the man with a lantern got nearer, Tom found he was coming with a cane (手杖) in his hand. Tom thought this was strange and asked, “Why are you walking so slowly with a cane even when you have a lantern?” The man said, “You know, I’m blind (失明的). That is why I use this cane to walk.” Tom laughed, “Ha, ha, ha. Are you blind? Then why do you carry a lantern in your hand? You don’t need a lantern if you can’t see.” The man with the lantern answered, “Yes, I can’t see. And this lantern cannot help me, but it can help others in the dark. I know better than anyone else how it feels when you cannot see.” Tom didn’t say anything for a long time. Then he said sorry to the man. 1．When did Tom come out of the office that day? 2．How did Tom go home? 3．What did the blind man carry in his hands? 4．What do you think of the blind man? Why? Write 30 words or more. 话题5 人与自然（Unit 5-6） Passage 1 Every time I go whitewater rafting (漂流), I think of an explorer named John Wesley Powell. He was a great person in the American West. Powell was very brave. He never cared about getting in a boat and rowing down a river he didn’t know. On the way, he studied geology, plants and wild animals, and taught himself a lot about nature. In 1861, Powell joined the army in the Civil War. He was injured and lost his right arm. When the wound was healed, he went back into war! In 1865, he retired as a major (少校)． Powell worked as a geology teacher, but he never went to college. During this time, he began to develop a risky plan. He wanted to explore the Grand Canyon by rafting the Colorado River. No one had done such a thing before. In May of 1869, Powell set out with ten men on the Green River in Wyoming for a long trip. Everyone thought they would be in great danger. No wonder! They were facing the unknown with every turn of the river. No one knew what dangers were ahead. But Powell refused to give up. He had courage and carefulness. He did what he set out to do. He saw one of the most surprising natural landforms (地貌) on Earth from the river's side. And he lived to tell people about his experience. 1．What happened to Powell’s right arm when he was in the army？(不超过5个词) 2．How many people set out on the Green River in Wyoming for a long trip in 1869？(不超过5个词) 3．What do you think of Powell? Why？(不超过15个词) Passage 3 What comes to your mind when you think of cicadas (蝉)? Maybe all the noise they make on hot summer days. But do you know that cicadas only spend a small part of their lives in trees? They spend most of their lives underground. Some cicadas even spend 17 years under the ground! Let’s take a look at cicadas’ life cycle. Just before female (雌的) cicadas die, they lay their eggs in trees. One cicada lays about 400 eggs. Six to ten weeks later, the baby cicadas come out of the eggs, fall to the ground and dig holes deep underground. Small and wingless, they’re known as nymphs (若虫). Depending on their kinds, most nymphs spend 13 to 17 years in these holes. But many of them may be eaten by birds and snakes. Now you understand why female cicadas lay so many eggs. They need to make sure enough nymphs live, even if many get eaten. Finally, the nymphs come up to the top of the ground. Then they climb onto a nearby plant, becoming adult cicadas. Adult cicadas have big bodies and four clear wings. These adults live for about two months, so they have enough time to find a partner. This is when we hear cicadas’ loud sounds. Male (雄的) cicadas make these sounds to find a partner. They die soon after pairing up, while females die after they lay their eggs. And then the life cycle begins again. No one is sure why some cicadas have such a long life cycle. But no matter what the reason is, cicadas are truly a wonder of nature. 1．What does the nymph look like? 2．Where does a cicada live most of its life? 3．Why does a male cicada make the noise on hot summer days? 4．What do you think of cicadas? Why? Write 30 words or more. Passage 3 As we all know, Yuan Longping is famous as the father of hybrid rice (杂交水稻之父). He was born on September 7, 1930 in Chongqing, and died in Changsha on May 22, 2021. In November, 2020, he and his team set a new record. They grew a new kind of hybrid rice called “Sanyou No. 1”. Its yield (产量) can reach 1,500 kg per mu. That means a 1-mu field (田地) can feed (喂养) five people! When he was young, he saw lots of Chinese people starving (挨饿). He has tried hard to make sure everyone has enough to eat. To get closer to this goal (目标), he grew hybrid rice. Hybrid rice is very important for China. About one-fifth of the world’s people live in China. But China only has less than 9 percent of the world’s land. So the rice grown in China has to have a big yield. It has to have more grains (稻粒) in each plant. Its grains have to be bigger. It has to be strong so that we can grow it in deserts (沙漠), mountains, and snowy villages. Hybrid rice can take in water and nutrition (营养) from the ground better than other rice. It can take in sunlight better as well. All of these things help it grow bigger and taller. Its annual yield (年产量) is about 20 percent higher than that of other rice. “I had a dream. In my dream, rice plants grow as tall as sorghum (高粱), each ear of rice (稻穗) is as big as a broom (扫把), and each grain of rice is as huge as a peanut (花生).” Yuan once said. Isn’t that wonderful? Maybe the scientist’s dream will come true someday. 1．What is Yuan Longping famous as? 2．When and where did Yuan Longping die? 3．Did he and his team set a new record in November, 2020? 4．How much is hybrid rice’s annual yield (年产量) higher than that of other rice? 5．What do you think of Yuan Longping? Passage 4 Shi Guangyin is a farmer and eco­warrior (生态战士) from Dingbian, Shaanxi Province. He grew up in a town near the Mu Us Desert. There, sandstorms often destroyed crops, houses, and even people’s lives. Growing up in such an environment (环境), Shi knows how much pain and harm the sand can cause. As a child, Shi experienced the pain of losing his home because of sandstorms. At the age of 8, he lost his best friend in a sandstorm. And these made him decide to fight against desertification (沙漠化)． Fighting against the desert is not easy. In 1968, Shi started leading local people to plant trees in the desert. After years of hard work, he found ways to grow trees in the sand. In 1984, he sold 84 sheep and borrowed money to plant trees on 200 hectares (公顷) of land. Although he had many difficulties, including failures in the harsh (艰苦) area of Langwosha, Shi never stopped fighting. In 1988, he finally succeeded in greening Langwosha by using new planting technology. Shi was old. His son, Shi Zhanjun, continued planting trees but sadly died in a car accident while transporting trees. Shi’s grandson then took up the responsibility. Together, they have turned 23,334 hectares of desert into green land. Shi believes that fighting against desertification is his lifelong duty. He says, “I shall not stop planting trees until my last breath.” His story shows how one person’s will can make a big difference in protecting nature. 1．Why did Shi Guangyin decide to fight against desertification?   (不超过15个词) 2．How did Shi Guangyin succeed in greening Langwosha?  (不超过10个词) 3．What can we learn from Shi’s story? (不超过15个词) Passage 5 What makes humans special? For a long time, people believed humans were different from all animals. They thought only humans could make tools and have real conversations. Then came Jane Goodall. As a child, Jane loved watching animals in her garden. She would sit for hours observing (观察) how birds built nests and squirrels collected food. This early love for nature stayed with her. At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream. Though she never went to university, she learnt much about animals from books. With help from scientist Louis Leakey, Jane began studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe forest. Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals (个体). For months, the chimpanzees ran away when they saw her. But Jane stayed patient, watching from a distance every day. Jane’s patience brought amazing discoveries. She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools. She saw David Greybeard use a grass stem to catch termites (白蚁)—the first proof that animals could make and use tools. She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families, having seen them hug when sad, hold hands, or have their mothers teach them to find food. Later Jane realized that studying animals wasn’t enough to protect them. She saw forests getting smaller and chimpanzees becoming fewer. So she started traveling worldwide, speaking to governments, schools, and communities. She told everyone that we must protect forests and the animals living in them. In 1991, Jane created Roots & Shoots to help young people make a difference. Students in this program clean up parks, plant trees, and help animals in their communities. One group in Tanzania built a safe place for birds. Another in Canada raised money to protect bear habitats (栖息地). Though Jane passed away recently, her work continues. She taught us that every person—including you and me—can help make our world better. As she often said, “Every day, each of us can make a difference.” 1．When did Jane go to Africa for the first time? 2．How was Jane’s way of studying chimpanzees different from that of other scientists? 3．What were Jane’s discoveries about chimpanzees? 4．What did Jane create in 1991? 5．Why do people see Jane Goodall as a great scientist?
